matching albums made for my nan and mil - i got bored with cutting the tiny lettering, which took hours and hours, so cheated and printed it on card and mounted it:

wow, jemw, fantastic stuff - thanks for sharing it all :T

Ps - I reckon I would have 'cheated' and printed that lettering as well (not really cheating, much more sensible really) Lovely idea to make personal albums for various people - I really like that.
